OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, where Nigerian billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi serves as a director, has signed a multiyear partnership with Amazon Web Services to run and scale its core AI systems. The 38 billion deal, which begins immediately, will give OpenAI access to computing power through AWS, including hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, with room to expand to tens of millions of CPUs over the next seven years.
AWS to power OpenAI expansion drive
The deal underscores how the growing demand for computing capacity is reshaping the AI industry. AWS, long known for its scale and reliability, will handle some of the worlds most advanced AI workloads as OpenAI seeks to expand ChatGPT and other tools. The infrastructure deployment will include tightly networked clusters of NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 chips, built to deliver low-latency, high-performance processing across OpenAIs models.
